Edgar Wallace 
Room 13 

‚Room 13‘ is the first crime novel in the J. G. Reeder series, featuring a sympathetic and astute civil servant, who is simultaneously a gifted detective. This fast-paced, mystery-ridden and thoroughly readable page-turner from the author of ‚King Kong‘ is set in the 1920s and contains all the essential ingredients of a great British crime novel, from romance to unexpected twists. Setting the scene for subsequent books in the series, we meet Reeder as he untangles a thrilling web of revenge, murder and counterfeits. Nothing is sacred to the perpetrators. Wallace’s masterful direct and descriptive style makes ‚Room 13‘ the perfect novel for fans of crime fiction and mystery thrillers alike.-
